Roundup

It's been almost a month since I did one of these. I haven't bought cards lately but there's still occasionally some card mail, most notably from some generous bloggers with packages that have definitely brightened the days.

CardBoredom surprised me with a terrific envelope. Five fabulous fifties card and a shiny, numbered Don Mattingly card. My favorite is the '53 Bowman Toby Atwell, I just love the photography in this set. The '53 Topps George Crowe is cool, with the artist inexplicably paining the NLer in Yankee Stadium. And adding two 1952 Topps cards at once is so unusual.

When I said terrific envelope, I meant that literally! This one is a keeper.

I won a contest at View from the Third Floor and got some nice retired legends from A&G. Munson is off course my favorite of these. It's weird to see someone like David Wright in this category.

Cards as I see them also had a nice giveaway recently. Yankees, vintage, shiny, oddballs, lots of fun here, highlighted by two Reggies.

I've gotten one OBC envelope this month, these 1975 minis from Casey Branton.

Finally, a couple of TCDB trades. PaulGebauer sent one of my last remaining semi-high needs for 1970 TOpps, plus some newer cards highlighted by some 1990 sticker backs and my next-to-last 2025 Topps need (still need #20 Coby Mayo).

ILLRIMESAYA sent a vintage and a modern card. Turns out I goofed on the A&G card, I had this already, so it's up for trade.
